Summary:
Washington Court House City is a small Ohio district of four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving roughly 1,825 students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The district as a whole ranks 533rd of 773 Ohio districts, in the 31st percentile, with 2 stars. Its schools are far from uniform: some rank above that district average, and some fall below it.
The strongest bright spots are at Belle Aire Intermediate and Washington Middle School. Belle Aire has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district at 13.0%, well under the district's 20.3%, and the smallest classes, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.1; its 3rd Grade Mathematics score of 64.8% is above the state's 62.1%, and 5th Grade Science, at 62.6%, is essentially at the state's 62.7%. Washington Middle posts the district's most dramatic result, Algebra I proficiency of 100% in 2025–2026 and 95.5% in 2024–2025, against state figures of 61.6% and 59.4%. Because middle school Algebra I is typically taken by advanced students, that result reflects a small, selected group rather than the whole school. The middle school is also uneven, with 8th Grade Mathematics at 54.7% (above the state's 52%) but 6th Grade Mathematics at 35.4% (far below the state's 56.2%).
Washington High School faces the biggest challenges: chronic absenteeism of 29.0%, the largest classes at an 18.6 ratio, Geometry at 28.6% versus the state's 43.3%, and Algebra I at 47.2% versus 61.6%. It ranks 563rd of 795, in the 29th percentile, with 1 star — the only 1-star school here — though its 93.2% graduation rate and English II result of 63.8% show real strengths. Cherry Hill Primary remains a blind spot: as a PK–2 school it has no state test scores or rank history, so it can be judged only on enrollment (503), chronic absenteeism (17.4%), student-teacher ratio (17.9), and per-student spending of $8,713 from 2018–2019. Free or reduced lunch data is unavailable for all four schools in this Washington Court House City list.
